Net Zero Hub Mission
The UHI Net Zero Hub seeks to maximise the UHI’s contribution to achieving a resilient and sustainable net zero world. We are harnessing the range and breadth of our research capabilities, both in the UK and globally, to develop solutions that have a transformational impact on the prospects of our region, its economy, its people, and its communities – with collaboration, openness, respect, and excellence embedded in all that we do.
We do this by integrating and enhancing our UHI partnership-wide offering, through:
- research and innovation to drive technological and social change,
- education and training to provide the skills needed to deliver a greener and brighter future and,
- engaging with a broad range of stakeholders to develop solutions collectively
Net Zero Vision
‘Enable university-wide opportunity to engage with current and future net zero challenges and opportunities, and place UHI at the epicentre of this transformation for a just transition to the people, communities and economy of the region.’
UHI Research themes include:
- Healthy and Sustainable Communities
- Innovative Energy Solutions
- Healthy and Sustainable Ecosystems
UHI Net Zero research is based on our unique regional characteristics and strengths within the partnership, with a focus on research themes integral to the impact on, and ability of our local communities and economies to achieve Net Zero and sustainability goals.
By integrating our partnership-wide research offering we are connecting researchers nationally and internationally, integrating research with policymaking, business, and local government, engaging with students of all ages and supporting UHI’s decarbonisation and sustainability agendas.
